India protests continue after mass detentions over voter rolls

Indian police detained thousands, including Cockroach Janta Party leaders and opposition politicians, during protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resign over voter-list revisions. The Supreme Court called the detentions illegal, and most detainees were released Sunday. CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke vowed protests would continue, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "bully" after his release.
